Antwerp may not be AS vintage-oriented as Berlin or Amsterdam, but you can still do some nice thrifting here! The fun thing is that most things are actually still affordable, in contrary to more expensive vintage shopping cities like London. Antwerp does focus more on designer vintage, regarding our fashion history and the fashion academy.…

As I was preparing my posts and content for this vintage week, I realized that I hadn’t been for a proper thrift hunt in months, maybe years. Time for some research! I quickly popped by Think Twice in Antwerp and almost immediately stumbled upon this pretty amazing leather skirt. A perfect fit for only €15… I…

This week we will post our best vintage outfits, second hand purchases and thrift store recommendations, and you can even shop our own closet! Sounds cool right? I decided to start this week with a throwback to a few years ago…

We’re halfway November already so I’m totally allowed to bring up the subject “Christmas” by now! As a true Winter and Christmas lover I really enjoy hunting for new Xmas decoration every year. My favourite part is the Christmas candles: being surrounded by a warm and spicy scent is everything what I really want in Winter. Last…

Woah, I can FINALLY share this post with you guys! Do you remember that back in October I launched an Instagram competition together with Levi’s in which we asked you guys to take a fitting room selfie with a pair of the new LOT700 Levi’s denim line? The big price was a trip to Berlin for…

Although I work part-time at a fashion company, I’m often way too lazy to pick interesting things in the morning. To save time when getting out of bed I usually stick to one type of outfit that I keep repeating in different versions. Easy peasy! My current uniform exists of wool cropped Filippa K trousers,…

Last season I introduced a new seasonal topic here on the blog that helps me to stay focussed on my wardrobe and on how I’d like my style to evolve. Last year I gathered my AW14 and SS15 style goals as a guideline for shopping, and although it might seem a bit late, I wanted to…

Although I used to be a keen lover of print and colour combining back in the days, I tend to choose for more monochrome options nowadays. One of my latest obsessions is the concept of ton-sur-ton: you just dress up in 1 colour only. Not only does this trend make you seem a lot taller and…

I’m probably pretty late but after seeing Creators-colleague Anouk and Sabrina from afterDRK rock the label, I’ve finally jumped on the Mansur Gavriel bandwagon! This New York City based design label was founded by two gorgeous ladies only three years ago and focuses on natural textures and a clean intensity of pop colours. The high…

One thing that I really like about blogging is being able to push your own boundaries on several levels. You know I’m not very girly-girly in terms of outfits, but now and then I stumble upon a piece that just asks for a different approach. These amazing over the knee boots that I showed you earlier this week can easily look…

Goodmorning gals! I’m yet again in Berlin for a super fun project and I can’t wait to show you more! It’s my 4th time in Berlin this year and unfortunately I still haven’t had time to explore the city. Maybe next time? I’m about to catch my flight home for a very exciting weekend, but I…

On my wishlist since forever: a pair of overknees! I once had a pair like this, but the leather became pretty saggy after a few weeks so that soon they were loose under-the-knee boots. Not cool. Finding a new pair turned out quite difficult, but after all those years I think I finally stumbled upon the perfect knee-cover-ups. These…

Now that every one is tired of seeing those white beaches and palmtrees, it’s time to focus on more relevant things: Autumn. And how to dress for it. You know that Autumn is by far my favourite season of the year because I love showing off my layering skills with different materials like fur, leather,…

Oh those lazy Sundays. Perfect to scroll through some holiday inspiration with a hot cup of tea, don’t you think? I gathered my very last bunch of travel photos from Saint Martin so we could dream away together today. Sit back, relax and enjoy. Photos by Dogs & Dresses and me INSTAGRAM @pielaun . SNAPCHAT @pielaunio . PINTEREST @pielaun…

It seems like every series of photos I start editing from my trip to Saint Martin seems more surreal! These photos were shot on the dreamiest place of all: the empty beach I talked about in my last post. We came here in the late afternoon but for the prettiest light and least amount of…

The comments on my last Saint Martin posts showed me that you guys aren’t tired of the subject just yet! That’s great news, because I still have so much to share about my Caribbean journey. Now that you’ve learned a bit about the island and that you have seen some beach outfits, I think it’s…

Ok I certainly do, because I wouldn’t want to miss my layering for a thing in the world. But right now all I’m craving for are those +30° temperatures in which even a cotton kaftan seems too hot. These photos were shot right after my first surf class ever and I can’t wait to tell you all…

Ever since the existence of Pinterest I’ve been drooling over white sand beaches I’d never thought I would encounter in real life. However, last week I had the chance to finally set foot on one of those dreamy beaches! Our hotel was located at Anse Marcel, a small town all the way up north of…

Traveling-wise 2015 has been an absolute dream for me: next to a few regularly visited places I traveled to no less than 3 brand new destinations so far. Next to Berlin and Ibiza, which had been on my travel wishlist since forever, I also got introduced to a destination less obvious. The tourism office of Saint…

You could follow my plane journey to the beautiful island of Saint Martin pretty intensely via Snapchat, but I totally forgot to show you what I wore! Dressing for traveling is always a challenge: an early morning train ride, a freezing plane, a tropically hot destination… You get confronted with totally different kinds of situations and…
Read MoreBon matin, mes amis! Straight from Saint-Martin and its horrible wifi connection: finally a little postcard! This week is all about discovering the well-known treasures and hidden gems of the Caribbean island, which has quickly won over my heart with its stunning sky-blue sea views, finger licking food and extremely friendly inhabitants. This afternoon I’m…

Woah, these gloomy pics seem so unreal in comparison with my current views! If you have been following me on Snapchat and Instagram, you must have noticed that I’m in a way sunnier place right now… Still, this outfit seemed like the appropriate thing to post now that October has kicked off. By now you should…

The photos you usually see on this blog are carefully selected, edited and curated in a certain way that pleases my personal aesthetic. The photo’s that you don’t see on this blog are usually pretty hilarious. It takes about 80 failed photos to have 6 pretty ones, so why hold back all of the good…

When life gives you bubble baths, you better take advantage of it. And when allround wellness platform Relaxy.be asks you to review a spa, you immediately say YES. After a wonderful morning drive through the idyllic area called Kempen (don’t judge, I was born there), my friend Lisa and I arrived at Instituut Elise in Herentals, close to Antwerp.…
